What is ‘street’?

Hello everyone im interested how you would you would catagorise this photo.its taken in the mountains whilst out walking with my love.In your opinion would you say this fits into the street photography genre or is it just a snapshot of my mrs whilst out walking? Whats yr thinking behind your opinion please? Im interested in what is street photography? Many thanks and thanks eric and kim for putting the effort in.great project!!!nice to be hear!

While its my personal opinion I believe Street was coined for a style of Documentarian imagery captured in a predominantly urban environment and aesthetic. I do feel however the the principles can be applied to almost any environment. Sometimes a great snapshot is just that and doesn’t need fitting into a category. Nice image too, I bet that path’s been around for centuries longer than most cities have stood.

Thanks Dicky!yes its interesting i very rarely shoot anything urban.im from a small town in the country and youd soon get a name for yourself.But i do (try) apply the principles of street photography when out and about taking photos of family or recently at the beach for example.I dont put my images in any bracket personally.i take a lot of photos in the mountains but wouldnt class my self as a landscape photographer.
